Before insurers quote you a premium for your policy, they will first consider a number of factors in order to determine what kind of risk you are. Such factors will include the scope, value, location and duration of the work you will be undertaking.

Sometimes temporary site buildings are included in the policy as long as these are the insured works originally stipulated when buying the policy. They may be covered under the general definition of the contract works indemnified by the definition of contract works within the policy. If not, then it will be down to the policyholder to amend said policy to include any temporary buildings as required.
